Availability of WebHID/WebUSB APIs on iOS

I know WebHID/WebUSB are generally available in Google Chrome (https://caniuse.com/webhid and https://caniuse.com/?search=webusb), but are these APIs available also on the iOS version of Google Chrome?

I was getting reports from users not being able to connect their devices on iOS (iPad), but unfortunately, I don't have a device to test it on and I didn't find any mentions of it online. Are these APIs available in the iOS version of Chrome?

WebUSB and WebHID are not available in any browser on iOS.

I don't believe it would be possible for any browser to implement them because iOS doesn't provide the APIs a native application like a web browser needs to implement them. The necessary APIs are only part of the macOS SDK.
